Penetration of dentinal tubules by endodontic sealer cements in extracted teeth and <i>in vivo</i>

Abstract

The depth and consistency of dentinal tubule penetration of sealer cements appears to be influenced by the chemical and physical characteristics of the materials. Resin-based sealers displayed deeper and more consistent penetration. Penetration depths observed for the epoxy resin-based sealer in vivo were consistent with that found in the experimental model.
